This isn't (well, I don't think it is) a Medit-Plants question, even
in the loosest definition of Medit-Plants, but perhaps some kind and
scholarly soul can help, all the same.
I have a friend (this is, I swear, an ACTUAL friend, not the 'I have a
friend...' with the unspeakable problem in the agony columns) who's
grown from seed some flourishing plants of VACCINIUM DENNOCHARIS.
Trouble is, he can no longer remember where the seed came from, has no
idea where the plant itself originates from, hence what conditions it
requires (except what you might apply to the whole genus), and has no
idea what its name means (which MIGHT give some clue, at least, as to
place of origin or cultural requirements or....). I've tried looking
it up on the obvious sites but can find no references to it at all.
If anybody can help, TIA from me and from him!
